By Sadiq Aminu The Anambra State House of Assembly has renewed the tenure of the Transition Committee Chairmen for the twenty one local government areas in the state for another three months.
The House renewed the tenure as part of their Legislative activities during plenary in Awka.
The House extended the tenure in line with section two hundred and eight of the local government law 1999 as amended, as requested by Governor Chukwuma Soludo in a letter sent to the House and read by the Speaker Mr Somtochukwu Udeze.
The House later went into committee of the whole to form electoral college for the re- appointment.
The law makers scrutinized the list, made amendments and carried the names as submitted by the Governor.
The House later reverted back to plenary where the Speaker reported progress before the law makers in a voice vote affirming the re appointment of the TC Chairmen following a motion moved by the Majority Leader,Mr Ikenna Ofodeme.
The Speaker of the House, Mr Somtochukwu Udeze read out the confirmation of their re- appointments to the House, while the lawmakers supported through a voice vote.
The Speaker called on them to remain focused, face their duties and avoid areas of conflict as the sole aim was to ensure that the agenda of the Governor was localized in all the twenty one local government areas of the state.
He enjoined them to work in partnership with all stakeholders in their various areas to see that they make impact on the lives of the people.
The Transition Committee Chairman of Orumba South local government area Mr Neville Uchendu while extolling the developmental strides of Governor Chukwuma Soludo in all sectors, said his committee would focus on sensitization of the youths against illicit drugs, widow empowerment, beef up security as well as visit schools in the area to ensure that the agenda of the present government was internalized in all communities in the area.
